To Kalon (Kelsey 1936) Double late-midseason. A pure white of real exhibition 
quality. Mr. Kelsey’s description follows: ‘‘Gold, overlaid with silver and wrought 
into a perfect arrangement of petals, that’s To Kalon. It is distinctive on account 
of the golden tones coming from the depth of the flower. Bloom, large rose 
formation, midseason, semi-dwarf, good strong stems with dense foliage to the 
ground.” Mr. Kelsey chose the Greek name To Kalon, meaning “The Beautiful.”

Trinket (Nicholls 1941) Double, midseason, A small glistening white with deep 
yellow underglow. Stiff stems. Medium height. Truly a gem. We have a fine 
stock of this variety to offer our customers. $3.00 
Victory (Thompson 1945) Too new for official rating, but we predict it will be 
among the highest-rated peonies we have. We are not alone in this opinion. 
First introduced and sold in 1945. This peony is now planted in many sections 
of the country, and we expect to get most satisfactory reports on its performance. 
A full double, exquisitely formed flower of pure white, with no markings. Opens 
a deep ivory, deepening to pink tones toward the center of bloom. Good, stiff, 
strong stems with remarkable substance of the petals that is equaled by a few 
and excelled by none. Grows 42 to 45 inches in height. One of the most out- 
standing creations in recent years. Due to the extreme excellence of this variety 
and scarcity of stock, the price will remain high for a number of years.

Ward Welsh (Neeley 1929) 8.73 A double, late, ivory white that is very attractive. 
Some years it does not open freely and this fault is reflected in the rating it 
carries. Late opening varieties are often damaged by thrip infestation which is 
no fault of the flower. $3.00 
W. F. Christman (Franklin 1921) 8.8 Full rose type, medium size, midseason variety 
of much grace and refinement. Don’t let the rating fool you. Large outer petals 
of blush-white shaded with delicate pink, especially on the outside, cupped, 
waved and held horizontally. Center petals somewhat narrower and incurved 
at first, opening to a true rose form, with small petals deep in the heart. The 
whole bloom flesh-white, suffused with pale rose-pink. A few petals edged with 
crimson. Delicate and most pleasing fragrance. Medium height, free flowering, 
good foliage. $1.25 
White Beauty (Auten 1931) A very lovely midseason double, exquisitely pearly 
white in color. Stems are strong and the bloom is freely produced. Very aptly 
named. Stock still scarce. This is a lovely creation and worthy of any fine 
planting. $1.59 
White Delight (Auten 1935) Very early double white. Has a very marked rose 
fragrance. A most pleasing introduction by Mr. Auten and very aptly named. 
$2.50

white. Central petals pink and yellow with greenish tints at base. Early. $4.00 
White Water (Kelsey 1942) Very large, open petaled white. A row looks like the 
spume on the Niagara Rapids above the falls. Good stems. Golden glow at base 
of petals. 8” blooms not uncommon. Satisfying both in bigness and beauty. 
Large enough to suit all; beautiful enough to suit the most critical. $6.00
